And so I'm leaving here today
No, I'm not sure just where I'm going
Burn out and watch it fade away
I miss the comfort of my knowing
Like running, standing in one place
A paper crown made for a child king
The truth can slap you in the face
And slip off like a loose wedding ring
When I talk, talk, talk
You would lie, lie, lie
I just wanted to be where you are
And you told, told me
If I tried, tried, tried
You could help me see in the dark
It's getting dark
It's getting dark
It's getting dark
It's getting dark
And so I'm giving up this fight
This mountain I could not stop climbing
You are an echo in the night
A cloud without a silver lining
Please tell my papa that I tried
And tell my darling that I love her
But something deep inside me died
And follows hovering above her
When I sought, sought, sought
You would lie, lie, lie
I just wanted to be where you are
And you told, told me
If I tried, tried, tried
You could help me see in the dark
When I sought, sought, sought
You would lie, lie, lie
I just wanted to be where you are
And you told, told me
If I tried, tried, tried
You could help me see in the dark
It's getting dark
It's getting dark
It's getting dark
It's getting dark
